The countdown to Texas A&M’s 2024 season opener against Notre Dame is nearing single digits.
Ten days remain before the 7th-ranked Fighting Irish head to College Station for a primetime showdown. New Aggies head coach Mike Elko has completed the long journey to accepting the position, going through his first offseason, and finishing his first fall practice period with the team this month.
Aggies Wire will focus on one player daily for the next ten days, ranking the Top 10 players on the 2024 roster. Coming in at No. 7 on the list, junior wide receiver Noah Thomas returns to the lineup after dealing with several injuries that hindered his explosiveness and overall production last season.
Possessing all the traits necessary to make it to the NFL, it’s all about staying healthy in 2024. However, Thomas will be counted on to become the go-to playmaker for starting quarterback Conner Weigman, who has already developed a chemistry with the junior pass catcher from early last season.
In nine starts last season, Thomas reeled in 29 receptions, 359 yards, and five touchdowns, including 74 yards and three touchdowns during the season opener vs. New Mexico.
Standing at 6-6 and 200 pounds, the goal this fall has been to achieve consistency from start to finish. Under new OC Collin Klein’s motion-heavy scheme, Thomas’s length and downfield speed are expected to open the Aggie offense up and allow Klein to take advantage of matchups.
Joining a talented but relatively unproven wide receiver rotation, Thomas can lead the pack and cement his name in the single-season record books if he reaches his full potential.
